The Route Is the Same, But the View Is Different

I’ve been thinking…
The view from a bus is different from a plane—and different still from someone who’s walking.
Even if all three are heading in the same direction, what each person sees, feels, and experiences will be completely different.

And yet, we often forget this when comparing lives.

Just because someone else is on a similar path doesn’t mean their perception, pace, or story is the same.
The person in the plane may see the big picture.
The one walking may notice the tiniest details.
The one on the bus might feel everything in between.

Each pace reveals its own kind of truth.
Each lens shows something unique.

So, no darling—don’t judge someone’s journey by your vantage point.
Don’t invalidate their experience because it looks different from yours.
Even when you’re on the same road, your views will never be identical.

There are different ways I could contextualize this but I hope you put it into perspective for yourself as I have for me.

With respectful smiles,
